'How do I store the incremented value and output it using 8086 DOS assembly language?

The goal is that whenever the user inputs the letter "s" it should increment and store but it increments one time only and it doesn't display the newer increment. Sorry for being dumb. Thanks in advance.

Well, as far as I understood you want to store the amount of small items chosen by the user. Well the code right now does nothing in terms of storing the thing as far as I can see. So first you need to reserve some space for the amount of small item. So something like this (I do not know which assembler you are using, I could tell you the exact syntax if you give me that):

.data
smallItems dw 0h

Then inside the s: label you need to increment this variable value.

inc [smallItems]

As I have mentioned before I have only used NASM as assembler so I do not know your assembler's syntax.

Edit: OK I found your assembler to be MASM, I have updated the code accordingly
